Monsters are Due on Maple Street!

"They pick the most dangerous enemy thet can find...and it's themselves." What dose this mean to you? For me, it has one clear message. I think that the aliens are trying to say that what people do to leave problems and to get out of them quickly is blame others. This is clear because at the end of Act one, everyone blamed Goodman, and in reality they didn't know if he had really the fault, they were only making that to get out of the problem real quick. Once they find a scapegoat they blame him or her the more they can, but really, inside they know that he or she isn't guilty, he or she didn't do anything in at all. Although they know this, they still keep blaming the person until everyone is sure that the guilty is the person everyone is blaming. Once this happens, they get satisfied and have once more, completed their goal. The real monsters, are really themselves, they are the ones who are causing danger in the world by hurting other people's feelings and lifes. This is something in life that needs to change, and that's what the author of this story trying to do, he is trying to make others realize what people do in life, and that this, should definetely change.

I agree with this message. I can assure this to you, because I have had problems which get solved by this ways. Once, something got stoled in my class, and everyone blamed one of my classmates only because they had the feeling that this person was the guilty one, they didn't have any evidence. You can try, and try to stop people from blaming you, but you can't do a thing. Although early, or late problems get solved the way it really needs to be, people get really hurted when they start blaming them for things that really didn't happen. If this story is updated it should be much better, but this still happens in life, and it has been happening from long ago. Although I was not there, in 1960 to tell if this problem happened in that time, this story is an evidence that in that time, that problem really happened.

Still, this play needs to be updated so it can be more revelant. For example, when Tommy says that aliens may be the ones who are causing the danger, the residents reacted in a crazy way. They inmediately discarted this option. If they update this story, I would include that the residents may think that the aliens may have been involved in the problem, this is so, because right know, we have evidence that there may be life in outer space. In the updated story, Tommy got his alien ideas from T.V programs, not only books. Also, I would include a part in which at first, the cellphones and labtops will work, but then the power of this instruments failed again. This is so, because I would like to show the technology that the world has in daily life. The location of the story would be a big city. The around land would be filled with buildings, houses markets etc., not only trees and natural things. Finally, include a part were people try to use an electric plant, but the can't. All this things may sound as little details, but it may help a lot to make the story modern and better.
